- My Dad's Like a Sleep Paralysis Demon (ft. Sausha Durkan)May 11, 2026 · 51 minZach sits down with an old friend — Sausha Durkan, director of Hurrdat Sports, Hale Varsity and NEB Preps — for a conversation that covers a lot of ground and almost none of it sports. They get into how Sausha landed in sports media after shadowing nuclear medicine and deciding it was boring, her allegiances to the Patriots and Penguins, and what she'd do if Omaha ever got a pro team (the Gummy Bears are on the table). From there, things go sideways in the best way: Are birds spies? Should people need a license to use the internet? What's the best driving album of all time, and why can't Zach remember the name of the one he actually wants to talk about? They also weigh in on Rob Gronkowski's acting range, Rage Against the Machine fans who missed the point entirely, and why everyone online is basically 12 years old. Pull up a bucket.

- There Should Be More Ugly People on TV (ft. Joslyne DeBonis)May 4, 2026 · 1 hr 2 minThis episode brings producer Joslyne into the hot seat for a conversation that covers heroes, haunted door latches and the ethics of checking out from the news entirely.
They dig into bucket questions about dreams quietly let go, why ugly people deserve more screen time, and whether Mac Miller and Kurt Vonnegut belong in the same breath. Joslyne reveals she's too scared of the dark to finish her Wicca initiation. Zach lands somewhere between reframing his comedy goals and seriously considering a move to the middle of nowhere.
Also: the Amish are selfish, ghosts probably aren't mad about candle scent, and someone should really start a Patreon.

- Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates. It's Full of Shoes (w/ Karl Houser)Apr 27, 2026 · 53 minOn this episode of Stop It With Zach Peterson, Omaha comedian and improv teacher Karl sits down to talk about what it actually takes to do improv well and all the terrible ideas improvisers have for shows they'll probably never do. Karl shares his philosophy on building a scene from a single suggestion (shoes, in this case), why checking in is both the worst and best thing you can do onstage, and what a Gremlins 2 character modeled after him would look like in disturbing detail. The conversation also drifts into swimming as an Ozempic alternative, the Manosphere, AM radio ghosts, and the Onion buying Infowars. It closes on a genuinely thoughtful note: what does love look like when no one's watching? Karl's got a real answer — and then immediately ruins it. Catch Karl at King Louie shows at the Backline (first Fridays, 9:30 p.m.) and the Ware House (third Fridays, 7 p.m.).

It’s chaotic, a little existential, and very funny—just how we like it.

Eric and Matt from the band Living Conditions stop by to talk chaotic screamo, growing up on hardcore music, and how to explain your band to someone who huffs paint. From there… things spiral.
We debate whether the movie Congo is secretly one of the greatest films ever made, pitch the idea of a full Congo musical, and try to figure out what exactly the Mandela Effect is doing to our brains. Along the way we cover cursed sports fandom, questionable haircut experiences at Sports Clips, meatball subs at 4AM, fictional characters who definitely vape, and whether anyone should ever use the bathroom on an airplane.
Also discussed: sleepwalking, participation trophies, moving to the country, model train addictions, and what our life’s purpose might actually be.
It’s chaotic, it’s ridiculous, and it’s exactly what you’d expect from Stop It with Zach Peterson.

- Dracula Sucks, Metal Rules (feat. Jesse Dean)Mar 9, 2026 · 1 hr 4 minOn this episode of Stop It, Zach is joined by Jesse from the band Narcotic Self to talk all things metal, music, and the strange paths that lead people into creative careers.
The two dive into Jesse’s new music video “Brought Back to Life,” the influence of bands like Alice in Chains, Pantera, and Nirvana, and what it’s like balancing a demanding day job while building a music career. Along the way they get sidetracked debating the best pizza and burgers in Omaha, roasting terrible horror movies (including a particularly awful Dracula remake), and reminiscing about growing up in the 90s when alternative culture actually scared parents.
Plus: bad skiing stories, turkey wars in Nebraska fields, and why metal culture still feels like one of the last true countercultures.

- The Baked Bean Community is Coming for Brad WenzelFeb 23, 2026 · 56 minIn this episode of Stop It, Zach and Brad spiral from a Reddit CO2 hallucination story into a full-on baked beans controversy that could anger an entire community. What starts as a casual riff turns into a passionate anti–bean slop manifesto, and things only get weirder from there.
They debate the most relatable Batman villain, argue over Ninja Turtle loyalty, swap haunted comedy club stories (including an alleged ghost named Pork Pie), and discuss whether anyone should ever willingly enter a submarine again. There’s also a deep dive into underrated cities for stand-up and an unsettling exploration of what chairs would look like if our knees bent the wrong way.
It’s absurd, conversational, and exactly what happens when two comics follow every tangent to its logical (and illogical) conclusion.
Brad Wenzel is one of the sharpest joke writers working today. Check out his stand-up on YouTube and join his mailing list at bradwenzelcomedy.com.

- Mall of America Therapy and Batman Ranking (feat. James Stanley and Tido Maldonado)Jan 19, 2026 · 51 minZach Peterson is joined by comedians James Stanley and Tido Maldonado for a beautifully unhinged conversation that starts with weird body noises and somehow spirals into Batman rankings, Walmart parking-lot hygiene, life-in-prison survival strategies, mall culture, thrill crimes, and the ethics of stealing socks from Target.
Along the way, they debate the best Batman (animated truthers rise up), imagine becoming dangerously religious in prison, relive Mall of America therapy sessions, rank Coen Brothers movies, invent new Spice Girls, and discover that sleeping in a Prius might actually be the American Dream.
There is no structure. There are no lessons. But there are tongue tricks, mall nostalgia, pop music obsessions, trophy lore, and at least one story that absolutely should not have been told on a podcast.
You’ve been warned. Now stop it.
